Clearance inspection

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Mazda 6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Remove the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor.
Measure the distance between the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor installation surface and the rear ABS sensor rotor. This is dimension A.
Calculate the clearance between the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor and the ABS sensor rotor using the following formula:
Clearance (mm {in}) = A-15 mm {0.59 in}
Verify that the clearance between the ABS sensor rotor and the rear ABS wheel-speed sensor is as indicated below.
- If there is any malfunction, verify the installation condition and replace if necessary.
